Conversations With My 13 Year Old Self Lyrics

[Refrain]
Conversations with my thirteen-year-old self
Conversations with my thirteen-year-old self

[Verse 1]
You're angry (You're angry)
I know this (I know this)
The world couldn't care less
You're lonely (You're lonely)
I feel this (I feel this)
And you wish you were the best
No teachers
Or guidance
And you always walk alone
You're crying
At night when
Nobody else is home

[Chorus 1]
Come over here and let me hold your hand and hug you, darling
I promise you that it won't always feel this bad
There are so many things I want to say to you
You're the girl I used to be
You little heartbroken thirteen-year-old me

[Verse 2]
You're laughing
But you're hiding
God, I know that trick too well
You forget
That I've been you (I've been you)
And now I'm just the shell
I promise
I love you and
Everything will work out fine
Don't try to
Grow up yet
Oh, just give it some time

[Chorus 2]
The pain you feel is real; you're not asleep, but it's a nightmare
But you can wake up anytime
Oh, don't lose your passion or the fighter that's inside of you
You're the girl I used to be
The pissed-off, complicated, thirteen-year-old me

[Refrain]
Conversations with my thirteen-year-old self
Conversations with my thirteen-year-old self

[Outro]
Until we meet again
Oh, I wish you well, oh
I wish you well
Little girl
Until we meet again
Oh
I wish you well
Little girl
I wish you well
Until we meet again
My little thirteen-year-old me

What did P!nk say about "Conversations With My 13 Year Old Self"?

“Conversations With My 13-Year-Old Self” was a huge therapy session, because writing that song was, what did I need? I needed a hug, and I get it … now. If I tried to hug my 13-year-old self, she’d try to kick my ass, and then she’d collapse and cry.
